BJ Johnson Scores First Toronto Monster Jam Victory

When Short Track Musings spoke with BJ Johnson prior to the show, he mentioned that he prefers racing over freestyle as there’s nothing like beating someone else head-to-head. He perfected that on Sunday at the Roger’s Centre, driving Gas Monkey Garage all the way to the Racing victory.

Round 1

The bracket was set by a blind draw during the driver’s meeting, which ultimately allowed Jon Zimmer in Dragon and Devin Jones in Barbarian to have a bye for the first round.

Saturday’s freestyle winner Mike Vaters II in Overkill Evolution also got a bye, as Mat Dishman in Rammunition was unable to compete due to damage sustained on Saturday. Vaters II still took a run at the track, posting a time of 23.951 seconds.

Saturday’s racing winner Ryan Anderson in Son-uva Digger posted a time of 21.707 for a win in the second race over Mike Vaters in Black Stallion (25.732).

Randy Brown in Grave Digger put together a clean 22.252 pass to beat Haley Gauley in Scooby Doo, who posted a 23.659.
